    He means if we will get something like CSS:Beta but obviously that is not the case if you've read the tester 101.

    He's just showing off his stupidity and ignorance :P

    Yeah, sadly. We'd love another appID but we can barely get anything out of Valve at the moment, so asking for another ID is a waste of time. It's a case of choosing our battles, if we spam them too much they'll start ignoring us completely and we'll never get update releases, so we'll wait until after the next patch to make an attempt at an extra appID. I know the method of testing sucks a bit but this is the reason we've not had tests for ages, but we finally realised there simply wasn't any other option.

    SVN is the reason we have steam-only problems like custom maps being broken and custom content not working. They don't show up in SVN, only in the steam version. And we can't test a lot of steamworks stuff in SVN either, such as achievements.

    So, now I'm confused :eek:

    Do we use SVN (sourcemod_dir) or content server for testing? Or does both work?

    And is revision 973 the right one?

    EDIT:     I've read the other threads by now. So it is okay if I stick with the easy to use SVN updater as long as enough other people fondle around with custom steam server? That would be awesome!

    do you really need testers that desperately to make paradox one? i mean seriously, you need to fix bugs, not players ...

    awwww! that was low :)

    Paradox? Does it hurt?

    I'm a bit unclear on how the testing will go but i'll see if i will be able to make it on saturday and i'll fix it up then.

    basicaly it's meant as appID recycle? So that you use it for the beta content instead of the current?

    Yeah you have it. We've used our current appID for the game as the testing delivery system, it was the only way we could really think of doing it. SVN is there for developers (including third party ones such as mappers) but it won't display all bugs, which is why we have problems like the custom content bug at the moment. Those bugs don't show up in SVN.

    Well the point is to try and play normal games as if it's just any other pub/pug, and the dox actually plays this game.
